My AXS chapter gets a few people every year that come to rush events because they want the free food. Whatever, but at least they politely decline if offered a bid. This past fall rush we had someone actually tell a brother that he had no interest in our "stupid club" and he just wanted us to buy his meals a few times. I'm not quite sure he realized he was talking to a member, but it doesn't make much sense to me to use that phrasing when talking to anyone.

Can't you tell a PNM in fraternity recruitment to not come back? I'm nearly certain in sorority you do just that, but how does a fraternity do it?

Why would anyone like that get offered a bid?

I think she meant that some of the PNMs come and ACT interested, but then decline a bid, therefore causing them to draw the conclusion that they were just there for the food.

Yes about the acting interested. Some of them will say later they were just there for the food, and other times they aren't sure about the time commitment. Two acquaintances that rushed with me decided after one or two events that they weren't interested, but kept coming because they wanted food or had other friends that were going.

I apologize if my phrasing was weird
